[PATCH v3 0/2] more STA PS fixes and mac80211_hwsim PS support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This patchset adds power save support to mac80211_hwsim, and fixes some
lingering bugs in mac80211 STA PS related to (QoS) nullfunc probing.

The hostap hwsim test failures initially observed[0] have been
"resolved" by disabling STA PS by default. It turns out STA PS behavior
violates some assumption for eg. the bgscan_simple_beacon_loss test
where a beacon loss event was expected instead of a disconnect event,
which is triggered because hwsim can now do nullfunc probing. For the
p2p failures I really have no idea :)
